It’s the highest spec ObG and apart from a changed ABR-1 to chrome rather than nickel and some Gotoh locking tuners - it seems to be all original - including Gibson USA pickups. 

Scratch plate is off obviously - and not included unless I find it. Includes a Thomann case. 

It has age related wear - a few nicks and dinks but generally not bad as it approaches 30.

In terms of trades that might interest me:

Telecasters
Things with Bigsbys but not Gretsch (just sold 2 of those)
Something from 1978 maybe to scratch the YOB itch. 
Semis/Hollowbodies

For an idea of the value. One of these ObGs with upgraded pickups and a few bits sold on here last year listed at £1300. 

I’ll listen to equiv. trades or cash either way. Although a cheaper guitar and cash is the less desirable trade for me. 

Brum based but will travel a little way for a meet up.

Cheers

    Good look selling the Gibson but I’m ideally looking for a trade. As I know I’ll piss the cash away on something else... 

    If a decent trade doesn’t come along I’ll probably just keep it for now.

    Nice guitar & Top Man :-)
    Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !

    At the current time I’d be interested in a trade for a nice lightweight Telecaster. Fender only - because I’m shallow.

    Ok - I’ll see if there’s any interest 6 months later. Happy to listen to your trade ideas. The worst I can say is no! 

    What have you got?!

    Now for sale at £1200 unless the Feline below goes first.

    The only other one for sale is in France for a lot more so I think it’s priced right.

    Looks nice in the first pic, but the link to the Flickr gallery isn't working for me.

    EDIT: scratch that, just tried again and it worked second time. Ignore me!

    Very nice. Depending on how my finances are after I've moved next week, I may come knocking. Should never have sold my LP.

    I’ve never really been in a rush to sell this but…

    I’ll take £999 for this this week only. Heading north this weekend up the M42, M1 etc to around South Yorkshire if that facilitates any dodgy lay-by /service station meeting. 

    Can also do a nice Gibson protector case with it for another £150 or else it comes with the Thomann branded case.

    Cheers
